Our Company was established in March 2010, but it really was March 2012 when we started full operations. Our principals are general manager Dorita Miranda de Bolaños & Andres Bolaños, both founders well known in the local market with good experi- ence in logistics services. Also we have an operations manager Linda Young who has extensive experience in the industry. Our main line of Business is related to Ocean, air and land trans- portation, including specialized cargo such as reefer and oversize cargo. We also offer value-added services such as customs broker- age & cargo insurance. As an additional service, we provide consultancy, for example training in subjects related to logistics among others. Yes, Panama is well known because of its logistics development lead by the Panama Canal which opened the road for a successful integrated logistics platform. Panama’s strategic position provides a perfect spot for companies to settle their regional operations, taking advantage of the cargo capacity (different modes of transportation), frequencies and ample menu of destinations. Import and export operations in Panama are very easy to perform due to several factors. One of them is because of the different customs scenarios we manage that provide companies with the flexibility to perform logistics operations. For example, we have a Free Zone in which companies can store products without paying taxes and with no time limit, this, combined with flexible customs regulations, creates a winning environment. Our major trading partners are China & the USA, we also have some interesting volume coming from Europe.

Panama has an interesting port infrastructure capable of handling not only containers but also special cargo such as oversize project cargo vehicles reefers LNG DGR and others In addition due to the strategic position over 20 shipping lines are actually operating in Panama This provides a good selection of alternatives in terms of capacity and convenient connectivity

In the Atlantic area we have three ports Manzanillo Cristoacutebal and Colon Container Terminal In the Pacific we have three ports Balboa PSA and PATSA

In addition to the port capabilities we can add internal connectiv-ity between the ports through a railroad system road and the Panama Canal

No Panama is not difficult to make imports and business Customs regulations are not complex

Panama is always working and looking for ways to facilitate operations

For exampleVUMPA (Ventanilla Unica Maritima de Panama) is a project that processes the arrival and departure of the ships in Panama resulting in the verification of dual functions between entities making the process for the shipping lines easy and agile due the large number of documents the captain must deliver to the ship when arriving at the port

How about customs clearance in Panama is it difficult

Can you give us more details about the ports of Panama both on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts

What types of projects or difficult shipments have you handled recently

Why did you choose a career as a freight forwarder Dorita

Besides visiting the Panama Canal can you recommend any other places worth visiting in Panama

I am confident that some of our readers would like to get in touch with you to learn more can you provide your contact details please

Yes in Panama there is a Free Zone and there is not a time restriction when using the free trade zone You can store them and develop your business in your own time In order to take advantage of this scenario all customers must be registered with the free zone administration in order to be able to operate there

We provide service and handle cargo to companies that are work-ing for large scale country projects such as hospitals metro trans-portation and commercial malls

I chose freight forwarding because Panamarsquos natural logistic capabilities and connections offer the possibility to integrate solutions to develop the freight forwarding business Also because I love logistics every shipment has different solutions and makes you look at everything from another angle

Yes Panama is a Small county but have special areas In the countryside we have Chiriquiacute our main productive agriculture land We also have San Blas with beautiful beaches

Yes with great pleasure to all our colleagues interested in doing business with Panama we are available to help you

Does Panama offer free trade zones if someone would like to store goods for a shorter or a longer period of time wait-ing for it to be sold

Blu Logistics was established in September 1997 We have had such an incredible journey during these years which has given us the chance to conquer new markets besides Colombia Today Blu Logistics is the first international logistics service provider with headquarters in Colombia with Colombian management and resources Blu Logistics has offices in Colombia Ecuador Panama Mexico USA Chile Argentina Brazil Spain China and Hong Kong Our core business is focused on providing end to end services and solutions along the logistics processes and SCM

Colombia is blessed by having access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean It provides countless possibilities for competitive-ness and market development Cartagena Barranquilla and Santa Marta are the main and most commercial ports on the Atlantic side Buenaventura is the main port on the Pacific side and handles around 65 of the commercial trade mainly from Asia

Examples of project cargo handled by Blu Logistics

Tell us about Blu Logistics When did you start the company who owns it today and what is your main line of business

Colombia is a big country in South America and you have both Pacific and Atlantic coasts Tell our readers more about the main ports of your country that are being used for commercial trade

Is customs clearance a problem in Colombia or can you give our readers some good advice with regards to how to prepare documents in order to speed up customs clearance

Dorita de BolantildeosDirectora Comercialdoritacorporaciondomicomlindacorporaciondomicom(operations manager)atencionaclientecorporaciondomicom(customer service)

I wouldnrsquot say it is a problem in Colombia I would say that Colom-bia has prepared and updated its processes for the current inter-national trade flow scenario As any other country Colombia has invested in processes and resources in order to have the right customs clearance operation The key to success here is to always have the right customs broker that can provide the correct advice support and intermediation so the process can run smoothly This includes documents licenses authorizations among other possi-ble requirements before the arrival of cargo into Colombia

Blu Logistics has its own customs broker which has been recog-nized by our government entities as one of the most solid and reliable in Colombia

Blu Logistics covers the entire logistics needs of our customers This includes inland transport in Colombia It is mainly done by truck as our rail and river infrastructure is not yet developed to support large operations In Colombia we can offer two different options to our customers when it comes to inland transport MTO (Multi-modal transport) where thanks to the license that Blu Logistics holds we can provide trucking services as ldquobonded cargordquo and where the customer can clear the cargo at its own convenience and need beyond the port of entry The other option is regular trucking services for cargo that has been already cleared at the port of entry We connect these options with our ldquolast mile servicerdquo which means that we also offer distribution services nationwide in Colombia

Are the Chinese active in your country as well We have seen them being very active for example in Peru with regards to mining etc

Do you also organize inland transport in Colombia Is it done mainly by road rail or river

View from Cartagena Port

Blu Logistics ndash Colombia

Mr Seigler OcampoBusiness Development Manager

Chinese have also been very active in Colombia in different indus-try sectors During the last few years China has been one of the top origins for our import operations and a key partner for Colom-bia As mentioned before 65 of our commercial trade is handled via Buenaventura mainly from Asia and from that 70 could be out of China

I started my journey in this industry 17 years ago I have had the opportunity to work for the most well-known and best-positioned freight forwarders in Colombia and Latin America I joined Blu Logistics 7 months ago and itrsquos been a privilege to be part of the first Colombian-based multinational and logistics service provider that is expanding rapidly and solidly in the Americas and overseas I hold a bachelorrsquos degree in International Business from Eafit University I also hold a Masteracutes degree in Marketing and Sales Management from EAE Business School Barcelona Univer-sity Lastly I hold a couple of diplomas such as Supply Chain Management and Logistics

Colombia had its own shipping lines unfortunately due to the changing market competition and other conditions it has disap-peared

Colombia is famous for its coffee but also for so many other products characteristics and reasons that could become a long list To mention a few of them I would say that Colombia is made

When did you start your own career in shipping and freight forwarding What is your background and why did you choose this career

Does Colombia have its own shipping line

Colombia is famous around the world for several reasons but tell our readers about your countryrsquos scenic spots and where to go as a tourist

of beautiful and hardworking people Colombia is made of flowers and endless landscapes and marvelous beaches in Cartagena Santa Marta San Andres and La Guajira Colombia brings tons of history with colonial scenarios from north to south and west to east Donrsquot ever forget to stop by Bogota Medellin Cali or even our ldquocoffee growing zonerdquo There is a saying in Colombia from a governmental entity which is ldquoThe only risk is wanting to stayrdquo

Colombia is blessed by having access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean It provides countless possibilities for competitive-ness and market development Cartagena Barranquilla and Santa Marta are the main and most commercial ports on the Atlantic side Buenaventura is the main port on the Pacific side and handles around 65 of the commercial trade mainly from Asia

Examples of project cargo handled by Blu Logistics

Tell us about Blu Logistics When did you start the company who owns it today and what is your main line of business

Colombia is a big country in South America and you have both Pacific and Atlantic coasts Tell our readers more about the main ports of your country that are being used for commercial trade

Is customs clearance a problem in Colombia or can you give our readers some good advice with regards to how to prepare documents in order to speed up customs clearance

Dorita de BolantildeosDirectora Comercialdoritacorporaciondomicomlindacorporaciondomicom(operations manager)atencionaclientecorporaciondomicom(customer service)

I wouldnrsquot say it is a problem in Colombia I would say that Colom-bia has prepared and updated its processes for the current inter-national trade flow scenario As any other country Colombia has invested in processes and resources in order to have the right customs clearance operation The key to success here is to always have the right customs broker that can provide the correct advice support and intermediation so the process can run smoothly This includes documents licenses authorizations among other possi-ble requirements before the arrival of cargo into Colombia

Blu Logistics has its own customs broker which has been recog-nized by our government entities as one of the most solid and reliable in Colombia

Blu Logistics covers the entire logistics needs of our customers This includes inland transport in Colombia It is mainly done by truck as our rail and river infrastructure is not yet developed to support large operations In Colombia we can offer two different options to our customers when it comes to inland transport MTO (Multi-modal transport) where thanks to the license that Blu Logistics holds we can provide trucking services as ldquobonded cargordquo and where the customer can clear the cargo at its own convenience and need beyond the port of entry The other option is regular trucking services for cargo that has been already cleared at the port of entry We connect these options with our ldquolast mile servicerdquo which means that we also offer distribution services nationwide in Colombia

Are the Chinese active in your country as well We have seen them being very active for example in Peru with regards to mining etc

Do you also organize inland transport in Colombia Is it done mainly by road rail or river

Blu Logistics ndash Colombia

Mr Seigler OcampoBusiness Development Manager

Chinese have also been very active in Colombia in different indus-try sectors During the last few years China has been one of the top origins for our import operations and a key partner for Colom-bia As mentioned before 65 of our commercial trade is handled via Buenaventura mainly from Asia and from that 70 could be out of China

I started my journey in this industry 17 years ago I have had the opportunity to work for the most well-known and best-positioned freight forwarders in Colombia and Latin America I joined Blu Logistics 7 months ago and itrsquos been a privilege to be part of the first Colombian-based multinational and logistics service provider that is expanding rapidly and solidly in the Americas and overseas I hold a bachelorrsquos degree in International Business from Eafit University I also hold a Masteracutes degree in Marketing and Sales Management from EAE Business School Barcelona Univer-sity Lastly I hold a couple of diplomas such as Supply Chain Management and Logistics

Colombia had its own shipping lines unfortunately due to the changing market competition and other conditions it has disap-peared

Colombia is famous for its coffee but also for so many other products characteristics and reasons that could become a long list To mention a few of them I would say that Colombia is made

When did you start your own career in shipping and freight forwarding What is your background and why did you choose this career

Does Colombia have its own shipping line

Colombia is famous around the world for several reasons but tell our readers about your countryrsquos scenic spots and where to go as a tourist

of beautiful and hardworking people Colombia is made of flowers and endless landscapes and marvelous beaches in Cartagena Santa Marta San Andres and La Guajira Colombia brings tons of history with colonial scenarios from north to south and west to east Donrsquot ever forget to stop by Bogota Medellin Cali or even our ldquocoffee growing zonerdquo There is a saying in Colombia from a governmental entity which is ldquoThe only risk is wanting to stayrdquo
